Very nice
It will advantageously replace the old Meiji riflemen from... Dom Pedro??
Your riflemen packs are very useful.
Now, you just need to make a Gunpowder Japanese pack to complete the Japanese units of 1700-1800 era.

I thought Dom Pedro's was accurate in its uniform for the Menjii period? Or is this moreso?

Wow, you're on a roll...

I don`t have images of Japanese infantry, 1700-1800.

Dom Pedro's was accurate, but the animation was not so good as Sandris

I would say this one is more accurate, even to the smaller details, the red line on his pants for one, Dom's was good, but the soldier had his whole shirt stuffed into a sash, His shin guards were civ colored, and the skin tone was yellow....
This version is prefect!

Japan closed it's borders from 1635-1863 Japan's borders were closed, and there were no internal wars, so Japan's military technology did not change until the Meiji restoration. Which is why you cannot find 1700-1800s Japanese infantry pictures.
Sandris is 1905, that's the early XX century...
If you want WWI, check BeBro's units, they are better.
No, I think Dom Pedro's could be used for earlier units, like 1870.
Anyway, Sandris's is indiscutably better than Dom Pedro, that's why I immediately used it for my mod.

Sandris's is more accurate and the uniform details are right on.
And it's "Meiji", not "Menjii." You keep calling it "Menjii".

More ideas for 19th century Japan:
Start of the Boshin War (1868-1869)
Near the middle, Imperial Japanese, mix of Old and Western stlye
Near the end (Bakufu in older style, Imperial in western style)
some of the Imperial troops wore the red head dress from the Shaguma
Very end the Bakufu becomes the Republic of Ezo
Satsuma Rebellion 1877
Japanese Calvary 1870-1905
this unit, but on a horse, maybe use his sword instead of his gun
Imperial Japanese army leader 1870-1905
Western style sabre
or on a horse

Durring the Russo-Japanese war (1905), Japan introduced the khaki uniform, that would slowly replace the black and dark blue uniform.
used for Japan 1905-1920s Japan wore these during the Russo-Japanese war, World War one, and Japan's involvement in the Russian Revolution
bebro made one, but his unmounted units were not good.

Why should you? We have to many units already, and beside yours are to ugly.
